Who isn't?! I, myself is longing for a life like his. Heck! I'd give everything just to be on Tatooine and to drive a landspeeder, that is just the boring parts of his life. What about being a Jedi? He must be glad he met someone like Obi-Wan!

You seem to have adopted a strange dislike to the Skywalker twins... Confused

Yeah, lol, I guess so. And as for JediJoe

That was the whole point. Luke was dead-set on adventure and heroics, and destroying the Death Star only strengthened his ego. He didn't realize what it really meant to become a Jedi. Just as Yoda said "Adventure, heh... Excitement, heh... A Jedi craves not these things!"

You're right, it was the point, but still, I don't like him! It's exactly that character trait I don't like!_________________To be angry is to be human. All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like. It's the only way we grow. ~Padme Amidala~

But he eventually evolved past that. He started out as an adventure-hungry farmboy in ANH, went through tough challenges and emotional conflict, and became a wise Jedi Knight in the end of RotJ. He was supposed to start out as immature, that's good storytelling._________________Darth Vegas the unwise...

Wow JediJoe. You're right, and I see things from your point of view. But for the sake of this topic and my opinion (no offense to you JediJoe, I do agree) I don't like Luke Skywalker, and while I'm rolling neither do l like Leia!
I just don't favor them. I hope everyone is okay with that. I guess it's just how I am.

I got to admit that the two of them wasn't really something special in the movies (not to be hated none the less!) but the EU shaped them into really good characters!

I'm not trying to change your opinion, I'm just saying that he was supposed to be whiny. It's like saying James Cameron's Titanic was bad because the ship sank at the end. _________________Darth Vegas the unwise...

Yeah totally! And um...I only like Han cause he's friggin hot!!!! And I gueeesssss he's a little funny,mmmm, maybe a lot. Yeah I like him!_________________To be angry is to be human. All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like. It's the only way we grow. ~Padme Amidala~

Perhaps so, but he still is. Not so much in RotJ, oddly. I actually prefer him in ANH and ESB, which is the time you really seem to dislike him. *shrug*
